Description of work

Description of the local wind systems in SEE

Describe the characteristics of the local wind systems in SEE (mainly Bora [Bura] and Jugo [Scirocco])

Assemble a comprehensive literature list on wind phenomena and wind potential in SEE (in contact with local met institutes, universities, harbours and other facilities as well as from the ALPEX and MAP experiments)

Create a website with links to information about SEE local wind systems sorted by topics and their relevance for wind energy (in cooperation with WP2)

Description of the local wind systems at the pilot wind park sites

Put the simulation and measurement results of WP3, WP5 and WP6 into context with the local wind systems in SEE

Create ‚wind event form‘ to record damage or failure events at the pilot wind parks caused by local wind extremes

Analyse collected forms and put them into context with the local wind systems

Add results to the report about the local wind systems in SEE (task no.1)

Re-evaluation of Mostar wind data

Reconstruction of 10-minute wind data from the paper wind charts of the met station Mostar (BH, WMO-No. 133480) as input for micro-scale modelling of WP7 (10 years period)

Wind forecast for pilot wind parks

Set up of the meso-scale model MM5 as forecast model for SEE (model setup optimised by findings of task no. 1, input from WP6 and contact with local met institutes)
